röntgen (weak, third-person singular present röntgt, past tense röntgte, past participle geröntgt, auxiliary haben)

1. to X-ray

   Gepäckstück geröntgt. Gepäckstück nicht geöffnet.

   Piece of baggage X-rayed. Piece of baggage not opened. (Tag found on baggage on returning from Germany.)

The unusual stop cluster in this word is often simplified to having a fricative instead, producing a pronunciation like [ʁœntç-]. This simplification is not limited to those (northern and central German) accents that feature or featured a merger of g and ch in initial or coda position. In the dialects which do feature a merger of final -g and -ch, this pronunciation of röntgen is also not necessarily limited to forms where the cluster is in the coda.
